Rennrfal for the NIR1.IN1AN

On Sunday night the 9th Of March, some
one entered the stable Of John Ruff, Of
North River, and took one Of his horses and
anew saddle and bride. Itseems from the
tracks ct the horse it occurred about Il
o'clock at night, just after a heavy shower
OF rain, which left the tracks quite plain,
and pointed in the direction of Stanton
Morday being County Court day, the party
IN pursuit proceeded direct towards Staan-
ton. When about two miles this side OF
Staunton, near the farm Of the late Judge
David Fultz, they met the horse home Ward
bound with saddle and bride intact, all
carefully tied up to prevent them from be-
coming entangled. No clue as yet TO the
party that concluded to take a ride to
Stanton upon another man 5 horse with
out his permission. 1t would seem in this
case, that there is yet some honor among
thieves 2
The past week has been real wihter-llke.
We had wind, rain, snow, and pincfing
cold with ice. Some fears were entertain
ed for the safety Of the fruit, but as far as
we have seen and learned, it has sustained
no injury
Jacob Ruff, son Of John Ruff, has been
quitesick for the last ten days with typhoid
pneumonia. His lifeis despaired of. DIR.

is visiting Philadelphia, where he was IN
yited to deliver the annual cratic before
the alumni of jefferson College. Whilst
professor in that college, on the morning
after the firing at Fort Sumpter, he made
strong speech to the students, who were
mostly from the South, urging them to
start immediately and join the Confeder-
ate forces. His appeal influenced 10 stu
dents to give up the prospective diplomas,
which would have been issued in few
months, and join the Southern army.
Many of them served with distinction in
the Confederate regiments, and DR.. Ma
guire was appointed Surgeon General OF
the A fmy of Virginia,a and WIS with Stone
